Custom Training Available in Your Area!

ATTCH receives a lot of requests for training in other areas. This is something that we do regularly! Custom training or certification training are available in your area for groups of all sizes. For certification training if you have a group (usually 8-10 people) interested in certification you can design your own training by choosing the core training and supplementary workshops to meet your training needs. Agency and individual training rates available. This often works out to be an economic option as participants save on travel and accommodation costs. Contact reception@attch.org for further details.

Clinical Supervision and Case Consultation: The ability to remain present and attuned to our clients at a right-brain to right-brain level is a powerful therapeutic process. However, the ability to consistently do so stems from our own wellness. Supervision is a process that allows for growth, awareness, atonement, and space needed to be intentional and mindful in our day-to-day work. ATTCH provides clinical supervision and case consultation services to a wide variety of professionals. These services are available in-person or remotely (telephonic, via Skype, and FaceTime). Supervision with ATTCH allows for application of trauma-informed practice that incorporates a wide variety of research-informed techniques and approaches to help promote therapeutic presence, regulation, authenticity, empowerment, and healing of the helper as well as those they are working with through informing their approach.
